Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks is in serious competition for the No. 2 wide receiver role in the Eagles' offense, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94.1 WIP. The Eagles are entering the next phase of their passing game after trading A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots. The Eagles acquired Wicks earlier this offseason and selected Makai Lemon with the 20th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The two will battle for the No. 2 role during training camp, which will hold its first session on July 29th. Wicks turned heads during early offseason workouts and earned high praise from players and coaches, while Lemon missed time due to a hamstring strain. Wicks has a real chance to win the No. 2 role and could become a league winner in fantasy football for 2026.

De'Zhaun Stribling News
Monday, July 27, 4:21 PM
San Francisco 49ers rookie second-round wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling has quickly impressed quarterback Brock Purdy in training camp, according to Matt Lively of CBS Sports. Purdy said Stribling has paid close attention to the details of his routes and has "done a good job of studying" and "being on top of it." The 49ers' signal-caller went on to say that Stribling has proven that "he's reliable," while adding that it's also Day 2 of camp. Many draft pundits thought the Niners reached quite a bit for Stribling with the first overall pick of the second round in this year's NFL draft, but so far, he has backed it up. The 49ers have future Hall of Famer Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, and Ricky Pearsall in their receiver room as well, so Stribling still has a lot to prove. But those who took a chance on Stribling in dynasty/keeper leagues have to be happy with the early returns this summer. He mostly stands out for his speed on offense, but it might take an injury for Stribling to become fantasy relevant in standard 12-team leagues in 2026. RotoBaller currently has the Ole Miss product ranked as the No. 78 fantasy WR for the upcoming season.
